The responses here are more anti-Bell than I thought, which confirms to me that there are some smart people around these parts. There's a non-zero chance that Bell's fantasy football value is at or near its ceiling. The story about Bell reporting during the bye week does not guarantee any of...

I wanted to say THANK YOU to all who contributed here. The article went LIVE today, and a couple of you made it in! http://subscribers.footballguys.com/apps/article.php?article=2018-patrick-mahomes-cheat-code Please feel free to continue the conversation here and at-mention me if you have any...

I love the point made by @Mookie about the supporting cast in KC. Remember when this offense was as "blah" as it got? You could argue that was the case as few as two years ago at this time. The 2016 Chiefs ended the season led by Travis Kelce (85), Tyreek Hill (61), and Jeremy Maclin/Chris...

I was leaning toward a "Redman Reach" BEFORE the Jim Wexell interview that Bloom linked earlier in this thread. Right now, Redman is RB26 (ADP 69) according to the comprehensive ADP page. I personally throw caution to the wind after Rounds 1 and 2 and look for high-ceiling players. Therefore...

STEELERS fan here... Since this is totally hypothetical, can I say I'd want to add Darelle Revis but leave his frequent holdouts and nonsense behind? If not, I'd go with a a franchise-level Offensive Tackle. Joe Thomas has been names a ton, but David Stewart of Tennessee or Branden Albert of...

My current Top 10 in the Staff Rankings is below. I have also inserted an empty line based on where they fall in my overall rankings (i.e. - I'm denoting the tiers). 1. Foster 2. McCoy 3. Rice (slight drop, but all of the Top 6 are top 9 overall) 4. Mathews 5. C. Johnson 6. Jones-Drew...

Last night, we did another FBG Staff Mock. It was nonPPR, 6 pt Pass TDs. Some interesting trends developed that I think are worth sharing with the listeners. Despite many experts' insistence that the RB position severely lacks depth and should be attacked in one or both of the first two...

Cullencoyote, that's an awesome question. Last pre-season, I did an article called "High Floors or Low Ceilings" that we published here on the site. I plan to do it again this year, so seeing what the guys say about these players will help with that effort. I think the true answer to the...

I do the same every time I comb through my rankings as well. He's definitely a "boom-of-bust" guy who you'd rather have playing a FLEX spot than a WR2. He is Brady's best outside guy since Moss, but when Moss had the super-huge year, the team didn't have the Gronk and Hernandez options to...

My main rotation of podcasts covers four gym trips per week and an hour of back-and-forth commuting 5x per week, so it's more than just Fantasy Football. But the FF ones I listen to most are (in no particular order): The Audible (especially in season with waiver wire and recap shows) ESPN...

I certainly see the validity of your argument, but you speak of Lloyd as though his floor is a WR2. While I don't think that's too unfair, you have him ranked 32nd at the position. Do you think that Brady can be #1 QB AND Lloyd be #32 WR? That would mean some monster numbers (even more...

In terms of backups, I'm assuming they'd be "drafted" to lead a team. In this exercise (and in real life), one team's backup can be better than another team's starter.Thanks for the input though.
